Temple of Aphrodite at Corinth

The Temple of Aphrodite at Corinth was a temple located on the Acrocorinth in Corinth, Greece. It was built in the mid-5th century BC, and it was dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite, who had been gifted the Acrocorinth by Zeus in mythology. It was famous for the temple prostitution of courtesans (hetaerae), and the temple owned more than a thousand courtesan slaves. The temple was destroyed in 146 BC during the Roman conquest, but it was rebuilt in 44 BC, and it became a Christian church and a Muslim mosque as the city changed hands.
